Testing

smoothness.

Changing a Blade
It is recommended that all the blades be changed at the same
time . The machine may wobble or bounce if only some of the
blades are changed at one time.
1. Place the machine on a flat, level surface. Adjust the blade
pitch control to make the blades as flat as possible. Note the
blade orientation on the trowel arm.
1. Remove the three bolts and lock washers that secure the
blade to the trowel arm. Remove the blade.
2. Using a wire brush, scrape all concrete particles and foreign
debris from the trowel arm.
3. Install the new trowel blade onto the trowel arm. Make sure
blade is installed correctly, maintaining the proper orienta-
tion for direction of rotation.
4. Reinstall the three bolts and lock washers that secure the
blade to the trowel arm. Tighten all three bolts securely.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for all remaining blades.
Before removing the blades,
please note the orientation of the
blade on the trowel arm
